Kylian Mbappé, who is recovering well, is set to join his teammates this Friday evening in Jeddah. According to L’Equipe, the Merengue club intends to field him from the start against FC Barcelona in the Supercopa de España final scheduled for Sunday at 8 PM.
Mbappé’s Return and Its Significance for Real Madrid
The inclusion of Kylian Mbappé comes at a critical juncture for Real Madrid, which is expected to benefit significantly from his presence. It is noteworthy that the club’s number 10 was previously omitted from the squad by coach Xabi Alonso for the match against Atlético Madrid due to a lateral collateral ligament injury sustained at the end of 2025. During that period, Real Madrid opted to engage in a match without their star player, which raised concerns among fans and analysts alike.
The anticipation surrounding Mbappé’s return to the pitch has been palpable, especially considering the team’s performance in recent matches. His ability to influence the game is well recognized, and the coaching staff appears keen to capitalize on his skills in what promises to be a highly competitive fixture against their arch-rivals, Barcelona.
As the countdown to the final continues, fans are eager to see how Mbappé’s involvement will impact the dynamics of the match. His speed, technique, and goal-scoring ability could be pivotal for Real Madrid in their pursuit of the Supercopa title.
